SENSIBLE WAY TO CUKE CATAKKH.
Jlyomci Medicates Air You Breathe
and Kills All Catarrhal Uerins?
Costs Nothing Unless It Cures.
Do not take medicines into tho stom
ach to kill catarrhal germs In the head
and throat. Air alono can roach these
gorms. Medicated with Hyomel and
breathed through the neat inhaler that
comes with every outfit, the air goes to
tho most remote air cells of tho head,
throat and lungs and completely de
stroys the disease germs. Hyomoi is
the only sensible, yot scientific way to
cure catarrh. Other remedies may fall;
Hyomel will cure.
It holps at onco, and you get tiio vit
alizing and invigorating effects from
tho few breaths of Hyomel. If It
should happen that Hyomel did not
give you tho same good ctTocts that it
has in many other casea right here at
home, The Laurens Drug Co. will re
fund your money without question or
argument. You will bo the sole judge
as to whether Hyomei cost? you a penny
or not.
The complete outfif, consisting of a
medicino dropper, and inhaler that can
be carried in the purse or vestpooket.
and a bottle of flyomoi soils for only
$1. Tho inhaler will last a lifetime,
and extra bottlos of Hyomel can bo ob
tained, if needed, for fifty cents.
When you get a Hyomoi outfit, Tho
Laurens Drug Co. will givo you a
signed receipt, agreeing to refund tba
money in case it docs not euro o itarrh
and other diseases of the respiratory
organs. This is the strongest evidence
that they can olTer as to their faith in
Hyomoi?to pay It themselves in case it
does not cure,

Tho Commltteo appointed at tho last

to make a suitable report on the death
of Brother H. W. Anderson, beg to
submit tho following:
To the W. M , Wardens and Brethren
of Palmetto Lodge, No. 1?, A. F. M.
In the providence of God we are
called on to record the death of ono of
the oldest and best beloved members of
this ancleut Lodge, one whose face and
figure has been soon and greetod among
us longer and with more regularity
than any other perhaps now living;one
whoso work by tho compass and square,
and whoso efficient sorvlces were so
long recognized and appreciated by all
the Brethren; our own lato brother
Secrotary, Harvey W, Anderson, has
gone from among us. He had passed
the threo score and ten, born January
30th, 1 ?.7; dlod March 20th, 1904. He
was r .a 1 to the sublime degroo of a
Master Mason in this Lodge on Sep
tember 17th 1851, and as an evidence of
the confidonco in which ho was held,
was made Treasurer the succeeding
year, 1852. He hold the oflico of Secro
tary for many, many years, and up to
tho time of his death, with wonderful
ofllciency, credit to himself and satis
faction to tho Craft. Uarvoy Anderson
will bo sadly missed In this Lodge and

and capacity in the faithful discharge
of ovory duty and employment en
trusted to him. Long the acting Post
master at this place, noted for his
"suaviter in modo," always pleasant,
and accommodating, provorblal for his
uniform klndnoss and courtesy to all,
ho possibly had no enemy anywhore.
This wo know is saying much, but we
think not too much for our departed
brother. One of your committee know
him in boyhood,manhood, youth and old
age,and can truly say that, in his stages,
his life comported with this tribute.
He dlod as ho had lived?quietly,
peacefully, in happy union with his
church and people. We thank God
that he was blessed with a long and
usoful life and extend our sympathy
and love for his family an lall bis loved
ones.
We submit tho following resolutions:
Resolved 1st: Tint in the death of
Brother II. W. Anderson, this Lodge
mourns oue of hor oldest and best
members.
2nd: That our hall bo draped in
mourning for thirty days, and that a
page of our records be Inscribed to his
memory.
3rd: That a copy of this preamble
and resolutions be glvon to tho family
of our deceasod brother by the W. M.,
of this Lodge with expressions of our
sincere sympathy and condolence.
?1th: That our county papers be re
queued to publish these proceedings.

left, return it and pay for tho rest.
